The engagement of the Rag Baby at
Boyd's, and the Cronies at the Grand
Opera, closed last night. This evening
Milton Mobiles opens q three nights en-

THE BIG CIRCUS TO-DAY.
The Doris " COlvin circus will exhibit
here to-day, giving two performances,
one ut p. M, ana one at 8 p. M, in the
spacious grounds at the corner of Twenty
fourth and Cunning street. The street
parade will be seen on the main thor
oughfares about 10 o'clock a. m. and
this prelude to the wonders in store is
said to be on the magnificent order,
being nearly two miles in length,
and composed of many new fea-
lures, which, Judging by exchanges,
strike the people as being pleasing inno-
vatiOns.
There will be an Indian and cowboy
band, which rather incongruous elements
will discourse melhflous strains ina man.
ner equal to some of the classic per-
formers. There was some difficulty ex.
perenced by the agents in finding
grounds spacious enough tor the big
tents, owing TO the fact that the big show
needs nearly q quarter of mile race
track for the Roman hIppodrome, and
the great thirty one horse act, a perform
ance, by the.way, which is said to be very
unique and quite exciting. The show
bills speak of it as being a master piece
of equestrianism. and such is will prove.
no doubt.
In addition to the thirty-one horse act,
and the trotting and running races.
there will be presented a series OF Roman
chariot races, en- costume, with chariots
and trappings historically correct, such
as "Ye Ancient Romans" delighted In.
The Wild West department of the big
circus is said to be rather on the enor-
nous order and consists of many games,
sports and historic representations of the
frontier. Chief among the latter will be
found the massacre. of General Custer at
Little Big Horn, in which the gallant
Custer and his brave band lost their lives
This is dramatically thrilling epoch
IN our country's history, and has es-
pecial attraction for Omaha.
Ample street Car accommodations will
be found on the Green and Red car
lines. Doors will be- open at the usual
time, and the tents be sure to hold
twelve thousand.

Trade at the class factories In this city

fully equal to expectations, and although
the tail end Of the quarter geemed dul!er
than usual there has been decided pick
ing up in the bulk OF the business, and
this month statts OF very na.teringly,
The trade is far in advance OF thst OF a
year ago in every particular, and the out.
look quite as auspiciouu. The t;rat guar
ter OF this year has witnessed the ship
ment Of much larger quantity OF glaze
ware than in the corresponding period OF
a year ago, and prices have not ruled

baye been lower-too low-ior several
years, but the manufacturers themselves

THE RESTRAINING ORDINANCE.

This work done, the restraining ordi.
nance was adopted, under the provisions
Of which an annual approximation ordi-
nance must be drawn. Tho restraining
ordinance provides that the Board shail
have power TO make Contracts under its
rules and regulations withou. control by
Council, OF amounts not 10 exceed in the
aggregate the amounts designated by the
ordinance.
Last year in preparing the appropria-
ton ordinance the Finance Com mi,tee
provided ia the ordinance how aad where
come OF the money appropriated to the
Board should be spent. Tbs Board pro.
teHted, but all to no avail, tor the money
had been so distributed by the committee
that majority Of both branches were aat-
istied with the amounts to ba spent in
their wards, and thus the ordinauce VIVA
log-rolled through. Vt"
This year the Finance Committee Of thg
new Council follows the example set last
ycar md the result is curious one. In
tho first place, the work ordered done lnst
year, but which was not reached, and one
or two new pieces, are ordered done in the
order in which they are mentioned. Tho
remaining baance, which It Is estimated
viii be something like Si5, coo, it is direct.
